In whats become an LGBTQ Pride Month tradition, a host of Broadway, television and film performers are set to take the stage this week to celebrate Judy Garland .

Now in its ninth year, Night of a Thousand Judys will feature performances by Alan Cumming, Jane Monheit, Nathan Lee Graham and Margo Seibert, among other artists. This years one-night-only event will be held virtually Thursday and, as was the case last year, be livestreamed .

While shes seen as a tragic torch singer, shes actually a singer of resilience, writer-performer Justin Sayre, who uses they/them pronouns, said of Garland last year. One day well get over the rainbow, one day well get over the man that got away, one day well catch that frickin trolley.

Proceeds from the show, as well as an accompanying auction of Garland-themed artwork , will benefit the Ali Forney Center , the nations largest advocacy group for homeless LGBTQ youth.
